Rose City Comic Con has changed its costume policy to ban “reminders of unspeakable atrocities,” including “Old School Hydra and Red Skull or any other Nazis from entertainment properties.” Violations of this rule will result in a lifetime ban from the convention. The change was made to the website yesterday, and appears to be in […]

So, we’re at the other end of this now. My opinions on Secret Empire have been made abundantly clear. There’s no reason to revisit it, let alone review Secret Empire: Omega. So, we’re going to review Secret Empire: Omega. Because I am not only a masochist but a curious masochist as well. That, and I […]

Alright, strap yourselves in folks, I’m going to be having fun with this one. On August 28th, 2017, President Adolf — sorry, President Red Skull — wait, that’s not right, either.

After looking through the comments and past the people who took umbrage with the fact that I admitted my favorite comic books series wasn’t perfect, I got the feeling that many in the comments wanted me to talk about Fabian Nicieza, Kurt Busiek, and Tom Grummett’s New Thunderbolts series from 2004.
